I have a few Bessy K body's but keep grabbing my pipe clamps. The K

You have both and choose the pipes? Why? G

I also have both available in many sizes and can't ever imagine a
single reason why I would choose pipes over K's. The K's are much
easier to size up, clamp square, spread the load better, are
non-stick, are stackable, can stand on their head, and don't react
with glues to discolor wood.


I had become so accustomed to using my pipe clamps that it is a habit to
reach for them whenever I need a clamp.
Years of accumulating different sized lengths make it easy to grab the
proper ones.

I haven't experienced problems with discoloration.
